Radio Foyle

If punk rock is all about loud guitars, attitude, and safety pins, why is there so much piano on the album that's supposed to have started it all? 1975's Horses is widely held as the first true 'punk' album, and with it, Patti Smith broke the mould, releasing an album that's power has not been diminished in the 50 years since its appearance. One of the most influential albums ever made, it spearheaded the new music coming out of New York, and fired the imaginations of people all over the world, as this androgynous poet captured a feeling that somehow defined a generation. This is the story of Patti Smith's debut album, Horses.
